Ow My Balls

Also I'm old enough to remember that Spike used to be TNN which used to be The Nashville Network, which used to show bull riding, Hee-Haw, and the CMA's. It kinds fits, right?

gah
It's as if Maxim had its own tv channel.

Ouch
I've been Koski'd

Aaron Funk
What, no Venetian Snares? Or is he the new Ghostbusters?

Pointe Horror Books
Those Pike books scared the crap out of me when I was younger. That shit in Scavenger Hunt when they go into the abandoned house, seriously creepy (if you were 10 in 1991).

Dired, you are my hero.

VH1 also had to cancel 3 shows because a contestant was murdered…

Oh damn that's right…even his bodyguards got in the mix. Smigel was dumbfounded that anyone could get angry at a puppet dog with a guy's fist up its ass.

The only time I've seen him be portrayed as humorless was during the FAKED reaction to Bruno's ass on whatever MTV awards show (Music? Movies?) from this year. Not sure when else he's been made out to be humorless.
